ActionScript 3.0 :: Get The Full Path Of An Object?
Feb 20, 2010
I need to get the full path of an object, and I don't know how to do that at all... I tried searching forums and google, but all found was something about nativePath, and all I get from this is "undefined". To sum the whole thing up, I need to pick up an object from the main stage on MouseEvent, and put it elsewhere. Then, by another click on the object (in the new location), I want it to go back to where it was in the first place. I cannot take the absolute path of the object, as I will have several objects and need to put this in a function..
Here is my function, for the moment :
Code:
function inventaire(evt:MouseEvent){
var chemin=evt.currentTarget.nativePath;
trace(chemin);
[Code]....
The targeted object is inside a movieclip, which is inside another movie clip...
The aim is to remove the object from the "popup" and have it return in it's place.

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

I plan to run my App off a thumb drive, and I need to be able to find the full filepath of my Flash app at run time, so I can then point to an xml folder on the hard drive. I need it to work on Windows or Mac, so it needs to find the full path of the running file, then append the "xml" folder onto the end.

How do I actually remove the full path as in C:program filesappfilename.jpg so that the only left is filename.jpg? Substr or Substring can be use in this case to remove after detecting the first occurrence or / by looping from the string end position.

say, user created a xml file by an AIR application and this file has been saved in certain location of his machine. If user enters second time in that application, the content of that XML file, should be displayed without prompting him. application should read file silently and display the content.In this scenario, i thought that when user will save that file, the entire file location will be saved in cookie. If user enters second time in that application, the file path will be available from cookie. user will not be prompted.[code]How can I get that full qualified path of saved file?

I am finding this task challenging in AS3.if I am missing something basic/simple or some builtin method which can do this. I am not well versed with RegExp.I have a DYNAMIC string representing full file path which looks exactly like "d: empabc.doc". I want to extract the filename part from complete string e.g. abc.doc.I am aware of techniques like using "fullPath.lastIndexOf("\")" or regular expressions. The problem is it doesn't seem to work if you have "" in your path. It works with "/". The path being dynamic can't be manipulated to replace "" with "/" or any other delimiter. My interpretation is that since "" is used to escape characters - ANY character appearing AFTER "" is ignored by actionscript. e.g.[code]

Currently, I have a requirement need to get the full resource path in runtime, IF POSSIBLE.Here is an example: I have a action script and using a MovieClip resource. Now, I have a action script variable ctrlVar that is pointing to a child control , whose id is, for example, contorl1. And the real path I can find from fla file should be, for example, parent1.parent2.parent3.control1. And every parentX is a id ( not a type ).

I'm using the code below to allow a user to download a file.The problem I am having is that, if the file is located at/images/english/and I say I want to download it to myDocuments instead of having an images saved in MyDocuments /MyDocuments/1.gif.it creates the same folder structure as the file that was downloaded and saves it here:/MyDocuments/images/english/1.jpg.This isn't the whole code, but I think I included all the stuff relating to downloading files

I am in the process of writing a custom script for our internal SharePoint system that will allow for multiple file uploads on list items. In order for this to happen, I was wanting to use a flash file input (to select multiple files at the same time) and then pass an array of file paths (local to the user) into my ASP page to do the actual uploading.Does anyone know of a SWF multiple upload plugin that allows this? I've looked at Uploadify and cannot find what I need there.

Why doesn't that load a video? The skin partially appears, but the video does not. Hitting "Play" gives a server error, even though I'm testing locally. Does FLVPlayback need the full MACHINE PATH -- file:////blah blah blah -- to access that local file? You'd think not.

I'm trying to trace the path of an object by using setPixel on the object's position every frame in a BitmapData/Bitmap pairing. These pixels aren't showing up normally and I suspect I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the BitmapData class. Here's what I'm doing:
public var contrailBase:BitmapData;
public var contrail:Bitmap;
private var contrailColor:uint;[code].....
Using this code, the red pixels don't show up. If I initialize contrailBase to 0xFF000000 instead then I get a black screen on which the red pixels DO draw, but I need the bitmap to be transparent except for the contrail. What am I doing wrong?

I have managed to get it to open a file browser but all I can seem to get it to do is give me the NAME of the selected file *eg. selectedFile.name* I also need the path of the file as in C:examplefile.mp3.
The program I'm making plays an MP3 of your choice at a certain time, like an alarm clock. But I got tired of entering the file path of the MP3 EACH time so I wanted to have a browse feature.

How can I get the full file path of a file? I have this so far:
ActionScript Code:
var fileRefList:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
fileRefList.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
browse.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, brwoser);
[Code]....
I can only get the file name and that pretty useless for an upload to a server. I will be using php to ftp it to my server.

I'm trying to write a plug-in for Flash CS5 that will display the "instances path" for a selected object. I'm trying to work with JSFL.I manged to get all selected objects using fl.getDocumentDOM().selection. I iterate over the array I get and look at the objects. I am able to get each of the objects' name. What I need to do is construct the "path" to that object (e.g., scene.scene.instance4.myText). Can anyone think of a way to do that? Is there a way to get the object that contains a certain object?

I have a straight line that converges to a point which makes the line curve. I want an arrow to follow the converging line. Motion guides seem to only work with a defined non moving path. How can I get my arrow to follow the moving curving path?

I'm trying to design my very first flash website, to date I've been using a photoshop/imageready and HTML combo and I need something new. So, I bought Flash MX 2004, and thus my question regards AS 2.
My problem is, I want an object to follow a path (like a motion guide) but I want its X position to be determined by the mouses X position. This is to be this way so that no matter where your cursor is (it will be hidden) the object following the path and your mouses X position will be the same. I tried to just make a motion guide and then use the following AS but it did not work.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myRadians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
myDegrees = Math.round((myRadians*180/Math.PI));
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);
[Code].....
That is just modified AS from a tutorial I read. It makes the object follow my mouses X position and rotate according to specific degrees (makes it more interesting). The problem is that I need the objects Y value to be a set value along a curved line. And I have no idea how to do this. I was reading something about the path follower class but thats way above my head.

I'd like to have some graphic object which is possible to drag along the VA path. I've tried something to do but no success. The path is a random up-down hills. Exactly like the Motion guide does it.
Maybe some solution: put some object on the motion guide, create some possition sniffer, apply position to the drag-object.... but there's the problem how to obtain the direction of the drag... even when I use Beziere curve, the right direction still persists...

Is there any way to get the file path of an object that is selected through the browse() method in the FileReference class. I don't think it can be done with a FileReference object, but is there another class that allows this, or any possible way to do this using XML?
